When the world didn't end on May 21, many people who had given up their earthly possessions were left with nothing.

But one believer never lived to see the day. She left nearly her entire estate - around $300,000 - to the group behind the failed prediction, leaving some family members out in the cold.

Eileen Heuwetter was shocked to find out that her aunt left the majority of her estate to Family Radio, the group responsible for the doomsday warnings that the world would end on May 21. She and her sister were each left $25,000 from their aunt's estate. The rest is going to Family Radio.

or this one Harold Camping: Give us your Money! Because no one will need it on May21st

Of course, if a house is "provided" by the Campy TV station along with car and food and jet planes etc...

My pet peeve about this is that I didn't manage to get my "I'll take care of all your money and possessions for free after the rapture. Just sign them over to me today" sign out quickly enough..

She could have left it to her pet parakeet if she wanted.

Reminds me of the story of the Buddhist abbot who spent a couple of years trying to convert a rich old lady, in the expectation she would then leave her money to his temple.

He succeeded in converting her - and she left the money to her reincarnation.

When and if the rapture comes, no one will know about it in advance. Sorry that your idea to make money off of it will not likely work out.

>> he’s never taken a penny of ministry money for himself. He’s a 100% volunteer. And, he’s spent a sizeable chunk of his sold construction business in behalf of the ministry. <<

Your asserting that he doesn’t give himself a salary, and instead has been living all these years off of some other income, like his construction business?
